Some ways to avoid athletes foot are to keep your feet clean and dry, wear shoes or sandles to allow your feet to breath, change your socks twice a day and dry your toes after swimming or bathing. If you happen to get athletes foot then there are multiple nonprescription meds to use.
3: contact dermatitis- Is characterized by redness, swelling and itching. It is caused by allergic substances that make contact with the skin. In order to avoid this wear long sleeves when you are outside in the woods to avoid poison ivy or other poisoned plants. If you happen to get this disease and you know what caused it be sure not to touch it. And be sure to wash your skin with mild soap and water as soon as you can when the rash gets small enough put some hydrocortisone cream.
